Merry Saturday

Started decorating our house for Christmas. Bought these two-toned (red and green) Christmas lights from Ace Hardware for only 100 pesos. They now adorn our front windows.

To do: Put more lights in front of the house. Put up our tiny Christmas tree. And arrange my Christmas houses.

Take a peek at our street. On the left side of the pic are colorful lighted parols. Our neighbor’s, not ours. Just wait till we put up our lights. hehe

It’s really beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

And now for the merrier stuff.

Estong got to ride the LRT this morning. I was initially having second thoughts of bringing him to Manila and then letting him ride the LRT. But still we went anyway. We parked the car in SM Manila, then took the LRT going to Carriedo. I wish I had taken a pic of him while inside the LRT :( . Didn’t bring my camera for security reasons. So why did we go to Carriedo?

For much merrier stuff.

One wish off my list. Now you are mine. It’s “ours” technically. Oh well. I am not ready to handle it yet anyway. I am so clueless.

I scrapped…

… a new page. This is for the Week 3 contest of Philippine Digiscrappers Forum. And it’s my fastest scrap ever. Usually, it will take me several hours, to even days or weeks before I complete a page (and even eternity I think as I still have a few pages left unfinished hehe). This one took me about 2-3 hours. I wanted to do more with this page but I was so pressured with time. I submitted this 10 minutes before the deadline. A buzzer beater.

A little background on the challenge: Photos must based on action shots. They should be able to tell a story just by looking at them. No journaling. Title must convey the whole aspect of layout. Title limited to 4 words (ooops, mine is 5.). Must use 10 different elements. Bonus points if those elements will come from 5 different designers.

Here’s my buzzer beater layout:

Yeah, it’s one scary stunt. I never really allow him to go this far and this high. But for documentation purposes, I let him do it. I swear, it only took a few seconds.

Bought the items below during the Black Friday sale. I so never want to buy anymore scrapping stuff yet as I still have lots of unused kits, but I just had to buy. Though these are just cheap, I only spent more or less $10 (Oh, I have one more element pack, not included in the pic)
